The premiere of “Frieren” season 2 drops on Crunchyroll on Friday, January 16 at 7 a.m. Pacific. But only the English subtitled episodes will be available for the time being. The English dubs aren’t out yet. Here’s the latest information we know about the dubs.
Crunchyroll Does Not Have a Date Yet for English Dubs for ‘Frieren’ Season 2, But It Might Be as Soon as 2 Weeks from Now
According to official press information sent to EntertainmentNOW from Crunchyroll, the streaming platform does not yet have a date for when the English dubs will premiere. However, the dubs will be released on this streaming platform, just like the subs.
Based on when the dubs dropped on Crunchyroll for season 1, they could release as soon as three weeks from now.
Season 1 premiered on Crunchyroll with two back-to-back episodes on September 29, 2023, Anime News Network reported at the time. Then the dubs debuted on Crunchyroll on October 13, just about two weeks later. Four dubbed episodes were dropped simultaneously on that date.
So during the course of the first season, the dubs were only about two weeks behind the English subs.
Sometimes Crunchyroll’s dubs lag a bit further behind, about three to four weeks, as was the case with “Attack on Titan” typically. (However, there was one big AoT delay in March 2023, when the sub for Season 4 Part 3 Part 1 dropped. The dub didn’t air until September 10. That was an unusually long delay.)
Hopefully, Crunchyroll will be able to continue the dub schedule it had for season 1, and we’ll only be waiting a couple weeks for the dubs to start droping. That would put them premiering around the beginning of February.
The Subs Will Premiere Every Friday Morning
“Frieren” season 2 begins at 7 a.m. on Friday, January 16 (in other time zones, that’s 8 a.m. Mountain time/10 a.m. Central time/11 a.m. Eastern time.) After that, the subs will drop every Friday.
In Japan, the new episodes air on TV at 11 p.m. JST on Friday night, and then are available for streaming in the region an hour later. So that means the new episodes will be available in some regions for just a short period of time before they’re available on Crunchyroll.
The opening theme song for “Frieren” season 2 is “lulu.” by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Crunchyroll reported.
Season two of the anime is being directed by Tomoya Kitagawa, who’s taking over for Keiichiro Saito (the director of season one.)
New episodes will be available to watch on Crunchyroll here.
